Well, that sucks.

Better than spending it giving tax breaks to the rich or subsidising companies that are destroying the planet.

Yeah cause leaving companies and the super rich to self regulate has worked so well.

It wouldn't make it easier to arrange meetings because you'd have no clue if you were arranging the meeting for when people would be at work, have finished for the day, or fast asleep at night.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it's not in the public sphere but your private collection, so you do you chap.

In my opinion privately owned art of a high enough cultural value should either not be allowed to be privately owned, or if it is then it should have to be on permanent loan to free admission public galleries. But that's not the case.

GCU The Gravitas Meme is so Last Year: I'm gonna sort out that extension event, then we should probably send a couple of Special Circumstances operatives to guide them in the right direction. In the past picosecond I've absorbed and analysed their global information net so know exactly what actions we need to take to give them the correct nudge.

But you wouldn't text another iPhone. You'd WhatsApp the person.

Prodigy is in about the right time period too.

Looks absolutely fine. Just that you had an extra thought that you'd forgotten to mention before.

I can't see anything wrong with the formatting.

You're all good.

It's common in English to refer to a collective like a company or government as though it were an individual. I think it's just a simple short hand really.

Eg "The whitehouse said today...." We know that the whitehouse (a building) doesn't have the power of speech and that really means "a whitehouse spokesperson working in an official capacity on behalf of the government said today".

Really the headline should be something along the lines of "what, exactly, are Xbox business strategists thinking?" But because of the common knowledge of how this shorthand works they can just use the headline they did.

There's probably a fancy linguistic name for it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
